Rarity & Significance
Common but highly iconic. Blowtorch is a staple of the early G.I. Joe line. Due to the bright colors, finding examples with perfect paint is difficult, making high-grade versions more desirable.
Special Features
Originally included a green flamethrower, a grey oxygen tank backpack with a black hose, and a съемный (removable) yellow helmet with a green visor (all currently missing).
Notable Variations
There are minor shades of yellow plastic variations depending on the factory (Hong Kong vs. China); some versions have the copyright stamp on the inner thigh vs. the buttocks.
